With all but one place in the Championship yet to be decided, Leeds can now look to next season with a little more clarity in regards to the competition they will face.
With West Ham completing their return to the Premier League at the weekend, joining Reading and Southampton, the Championship looks a lot weaker than it could have been.
Of the teams coming down, Bolton need massive work before even thinking about challenging for promotion, Blackburn are a club in turmoil and Wolves have an almost unknown manager at the helm, though they should be able to keep the majority of their squad together.
The other new teams to look out for are Charlton and Sheffield Wednesday, who will both have momentum which, as shown by Norwich and Southamption in recent seasons, can play a massive part in fighting for promotion.
With this in mind, Leeds fans would be forgiven for looking at the league and thinking that this could be our year, we’ve got a promotion specialist as manager and he’s been promised funds to spend.
All looks good, on paper. Unfortunately, on the horizon is a giant storm cloud, and it’s heading towards Elland Road at quite a pace. As recently stated by our current captain, Robert Snodgrass, how a team can expect to challenge from promotion after selling their captain is anyone’s guess. That can also be said for selling your top scorer. Ross McCormack looks set to reject the new contract offered to him, immediately giving Leeds a reason to sell him if the right offer came about.
What is worrying about the feeling around Elland Road at the minute, and of the fans themselves, is that it is become increasingly hard to feel any surprise at news such as this. It is almost as if we have become numb to the negative feelings that accompany being a Leeds fan. That is not to say that we do not care about the club, as this lack of feeling is a direct result of just that.
Ken Bates has almost ground the fans down to the point where losing our captain, top scorer, whoever, seems almost the norm. The pride of the fans is hurting, but we have started to realise that while Bates is in charge there really is no point expecting anything other than the usual disappointment, false hopes and the excuses we hear every single season.
Being Leeds isn’t something you can control, there’s a certain amount of pride that comes with supporting them that you cant quite describe to anyone other than a fellow fan. That pride is something that will always be there, no matter how many times it gets dented and trampled on.
Although times are hard at present, it is encouraging and somewhat inspiring to know that long after the Ken Bates era and the negativity that goes with it is finished, we will all still be marching on together, with our white hearts shining brighter than ever.
Keep the faith.
